The Magma Hideout (Japanese: マグマだんアジトTeam Magma Hideout) is Team Magma's base of operations in the Hoenn region. It was originally located on a small island cave on the outskirts of Lilycove City, however they moved it to a much more secretive location, in the middle of Mt. Chimney, with the entrance on the Jagged Pass.

On the inside, the player will find teleport platforms scattered about. There are also a number of Grunts to take on, including the team's admin Tabitha who will tell the player that Maxie, the leader of Team Magma, has left with the submarine to the watery depths near Sootopolis City.

After finishing everything in the Hideout, the player is free to move onto Route 124 which was previously blocked by a Grunt trying to train his Wailmer. Route 124 connects to Mossdeep City.

It is located inside of Mt. Chimney, only accessible if the player has the Magma Emblem. The entrance is located in the middle of Jagged Pass, and before the events of the Magma Emblem, it is guarded by a Team Magma Grunt, who will battle the player once and not leave his post. It is where Groudon is awakened by the power of the Blue Orb after the player defeats Maxie.

On the inside, the new Magma Hideout is very different from the old one. It is a series of tightly fixed caves that expand into different areas, with strange machines scattered around the place. In one room, there are excavation drills for digging deeper into the volcano. This hideout is less confusing than the old one, as there are no teleport platforms scattered about.

There are also a number of Grunts to take on, including the team's admin Tabitha, along with Team Magma boss's Maxie. After defeating Maxie, Groudon will be awakened by the power of the Blue Orb.

In the anime

In Gaining Groudon, the Magma Hideout was shown to be a large, mobile sea fortress. Ash and his friends were taken prisoners there, but they escaped in the confusion when Kyogre escaped with the help of Team Aqua. Team Magma evacuated safely, but their hideout sank because of the huge hole in the side caused by Kyogre's Hyper Beam attack.

Magma Hideout in Pokémon Ruby-Sapphire

In the Pokémon Adventures manga

A fixed hideout does not appear to exist in this universe, as Maxie only decides which places to discuss important matters in on a whim. However, Team Aqua have a hideout that seems to reflect on its location in Sapphire.
